Explain the Legend

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a visual exercise that focuses on teaching students positional vocabulary through the use of shapes and colors. A grid of colorful shapes at the top of the worksheet includes a cube, circle, heart, square, rectangle, triangle, star, and arrow, each labeled with its name. Below the grid are questions asking the student to identify the spatial relationship between these shapes, such as “What is under the blue cube?” or “What is above the green star?” The student must write the correct answers in the spaces provided, using the grid as a reference.

The aim of the worksheet is to strengthen the student’s ability to use and understand positional words such as “above,” “below,” “between,” and “on top of.” By answering the questions, students practice associating these terms with the correct spatial concepts as they relate to the arrangement of objects. This task not only builds vocabulary but also enhances the child’s spatial reasoning and ability to follow and give directions. It’s an important foundational skill for geometry, reading maps, and describing locations or arrangements in both mathematical and everyday contexts.
